Oracle VM VirtualBox: Ticket #2549: Guru meditation (VERR_VMX_UNEXPECTED_INTERRUPTION_EXIT_CODE) when executing programhttps://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/2549
<p>
I am using VB 2.0.4 on Ubuntu 8.10 where I have a WinXP guest. In XP I have installed the program VCDS from Ross-tech (<a class="ext-link" href="http://www.ross-tech.com/"><span class="icon"> </span>http://www.ross-tech.com/</a>). This software is used for diagnostics on VW cars. Installation doesnot require a license key.
The software comes with an usb dongle to connect your laptop with your car and the dongle also contains the license key for the software.
</p>
<p>
When I start this software in WinXP I receive a virtualbox critical error, the status of my guest is Stuck and the Guru went into meditation. This happens both when the dongle is connected and disconnected.
</p>
<p>
See attached files &amp; screenshot.

Any chance to test this software with VT-x disabled?

Right away sir!
</p>
<p>
Updated VBox to 2.0.6.
</p>
<p>
Changed VT-x setting to disabled for Windows XP image. VCDS does now executes both with and without usb dongle. Is this known behaviour I have missed?

Not a known issue but there is a chance that some software work which didn't with VT-x/AMD-V enabled and vice versa. I will leave this bug open anyway. In med term, we will focus on improving VT-x/AMD-V support so this problem will be fixed at some time.
